Electric force between point charges

18.3

What the syllabus asks of you

  • understand that, for a point outside a spherical conductor, the charge on the sphere may be considered to be a point charge at its centre
  • recall and use Coulomb’s law F = Q1Q2 / (4πε0 r²) for the force between two point charges in free space
